I’ll take a moment from the normal course of events to post a person wrap-up of Wikimania 2007. My plane for Sydney leaves in twenty minutes, so I only really have a few minutes to write up some notes on the conference.
First and foremost, the last five days have seen 1,352 downloads from either WikipediaWeekly.com, or, in the case of my lightning talk video, YouTube. Tawker provided us with a very impressive internet backbone, and I’m proud to say a number of things about it: that it was insanely fast, that it was utterly reliable, that we never even scratched the surface of its capabilities, and that it allowed us to serve a record amount of content in the given time period.
For reference, that’s an average of one download every eleven minutes, with a peak of one every five minutes or so. For a podcast as esoteric as ours, that’s impressive.
Secondly, I’ll take a moment to thank the rest of the podcasting crew. Andrew Lih (who, despite what his profile picture would have you believe, no longer sports a Chairman Mao hairdo) provided us with an amazing host and driving force, while Liam Wyatt proved to be a proficient interviewer and efficient content updater each time we released an episode. MessedRocker was a fun and helpful co-panelist, and JamesF… well, he didn’t mock me all the time. 
Thanks to everyone who said “hi” to us in our messy little corner, and especially to those who stole JamesF’s wafer sticks at my insistence.
We’re back again, this time with Episode 26 in the form of our final Morning Update for the Wikimania 2007 conference! In this episode, we discuss Brion Vibber’s Single User Login talk today, as well as yesterday’s activities and the Wikimania Party (including the adventures of a certain cartoon mascot).
